Sunshine in a bowl for your baby ! Halloween is round the corner, so why not make a dish with the seasonal orange coloured vegetables and fruits, packed with B carotene and other nutrients you shouldn’t miss !

Method: Take a pan of water, add the diced root vegetable and simmer; cook gently, and add the chamomile teabag; once starting to boil, simmer until the vegetables are soft enough but not mushy. Scoop out the vegetables and add a small portion of the juice; put into either a food processor or blender or puree to the desired texture. Place back in the pan with the rest of the liquid and gently warm again. Serve with half of a freshly squeezed orange juice.
